I think you might be referring to one or both of the panel-body rear-body repair panels sold by Jim Carter (and, made by Ray Stanley). These parts are excellent. Tim | | | | | | ZooKeeper Unregistered | | ZooKeeper Unregistered | WOW!!!!!!! I didn't think anyone was making those, but if Ray is making them you know it is top notch stuff. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | .....now if he just made the rear filler between the bumper and body! | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |
Yes, Alvin.
The same part was used from 47-55 on all panel, suburban, and canopy trucks. You'd think the market would be big enough for someone to tool-up for it? The fiberglas repo looks OK but does not fit right and is not strong.

A true panel guy will probably correct me if I am wrong. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 | I think that this has been answered in your previous post. and this one. Jim Carter's sells them and Ray Stanley makes them. Otherwise you can find them on ebay or a member might respond to your ad. | | | | | | OLTrucks Unregistered | | OLTrucks Unregistered | If it is what GMONIZ is talking about those parts can be found here.

My body man spent hours trying to make mine look halfways good, it was pretty well shot. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 4 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 4 | Just received a fiberglass replacement for my '47 panel. Fits well. You will need to drill the holes for attachment to the bumper arms. $115 from the Filling Station. Was on backorder for quite some time but here now. This is the "filler panel or splash apron, it is one piece and not a body repair panel. www.fillingstation.comGood luck Terry Brown Brownsville, Ca 1947 Chev Panel 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C (SPF)
